Drifting Sand in the West Chapter 8 The Desert Wolves Howl 1

We rode our camel all the way west, and in the afternoon it wasn't as good luck as at noon, and with a few trees for shade, we steamed again for an afternoon in the free sauna.

The cannon walked all the way, muttering all the way: "What the hell is this weather, it's really hot to death." "Originally, because of the hot weather, everyone was more irritable, and listening to the cannon say this made everyone even more irritable. It's just that Li Tong and Big Brother Li didn't say it explicitly.

I turned the camel closer to the cannon and whispered, "I said, don't you say the cannon, don't you see that everyone is upset?" ”

The cannon scratched his head embarrassedly.

We spent the afternoon joking with each other. In the blink of an eye, the sun fell on Shantou in the west, and a red fiery cloud appeared in the sky.

In this desert, the night is more terrible than the day. Due to the scorching sun during the day, many snakes, insects and wild beasts did not dare to come out, but at night it became their world. Therefore, it is best not to take it lightly at night in the desert, otherwise you will not know how to die.

Night was approaching and we had to find a place to rest as soon as possible. Soon we found a place that had been badly eroded by the wind, leeward on three sides, to prevent wild beasts from raiding.

After selecting a place, we set up two large and one small tents near the stone, the small tent was for Li Tong's use, and the big tent could only be squeezed together by the three of us.

"The three big men are huddled together, and they can't lay eggs." Cannon complained. "Fuck off, if you don't sleep here, where do you want to sleep?" When I heard this thing say that, I really wanted to kick it over.

Seeing this, the cannon didn't mutter. Brother Li helped us set up the tent and never said a word. Maybe it's because of his personality.

Soon, three tents were set up, and we sprinkled some realgar and other powders nearby, mainly to prevent snakes and insects from burrowing into the tents.

When it was getting dark, we built a fire around the perimeter of the tent, which also served to prevent wolves and other wild animals from attacking, and more importantly, to provide lighting. When an emergency happens, don't be scrambling.

I sat down by the fire, drank some water, ate some dry food, and discussed the progress of the next day by the way. After eleven o'clock, everyone was ready to rest. The three of us men discussed taking turns keeping vigils to prevent the unexpected. Brother Li is in charge of eleven o'clock to one o'clock, the cannon is responsible for one o'clock to three o'clock, and I am responsible for three o'clock to six o'clock.

After the discussion, we all went back to rest, and only the cannon sat by the fire, constantly stirring up the firewood with burning sticks.

The night in the desert was lifeless, dead silent. There was nothing but the dark night sky and the cold wind howling by.

Since I had to keep vigil at night, I lay down in the tent early and fell asleep.

I don't know how long it took to hear a nervous voice in my ears. "Brother Seven, wake up, I feel like there's something going on near us."

Hearing the cannon say this, I didn't dare to be careless, and immediately got up and went outside the tent.

It's still quiet, there's nothing. Suddenly, I saw a dozen pairs of green eyes staring at us under the pitch-black night sky.

"This, what the fuck is this weird thing." I shouted nervously. Brother Li was also woken up by my shouting.

"Oh no, the wolves in the desert at this time. Looks like it's going to be a bad night. Brother Li said anxiously.

At this time, Li Tong also got up and came out when he heard the movement outside, looking into the distance with a nervous expression. I turned to look at my watch, and the time showed that it was 2:23, and now there were still three or four hours before dawn, and it seemed that it was impossible to sleep tonight.

"Don't panic, wolves are extremely patient animals. And it is also a social animal. Therefore, we must do a good job in the division of labor and not give these beasts a chance to take advantage of it. Brother Li said solemnly.

"Okay, Brother Li, you assign the task." I said immediately.

Brother Li looked at the surrounding terrain and said, "Ling Qi, you are in charge of the front, you are in charge of the artillery, you are in charge of the left, I am in charge of the right, Xiao Li, you are in charge of the back." ”

After Brother Li finished arranging the task, his face relaxed a lot, and when everyone was in place, Brother Li said: "Everyone must remember that when the wolves approach, try to scare them as much as possible." Don't attack until you have to. This thing holds a grudge. ”

We agreed and stood ready to guard against the wolves.

"Howl!" In the dark night sky, a wolf howl broke the silence. A dozen pairs of green eyes seemed to be approaching our camp.

"I didn't expect to see a wolf on the first night I entered the desert. It was an eye-opener. After speaking, he took out the dagger and broadsword he had prepared from his backpack. At this time, the cannon seemed to have lost a trace of fear. Don't look at Cannon's usual clothes, foodies, cowards and money fans, but when it comes to the critical time, this goods have not fallen off the chain.

I nodded to the cannon in satisfaction. At this time, Li Tong already had an extra military thorn in his hand, which I haven't seen yet. Brother Li also took out a big knife and faced to the left.

Everything before the war continued to be as dark as the night in the desert, strangely quiet, as if it was about to swallow everything up. The cold wind was constantly blowing past our ears and blowing through our hair.

1,000 meters, 500 meters, 200 meters,...... Gradually, those green eyes kept getting closer.

The four of us didn't dare to be careless, for fear that these brutes would come and attack in the blink of an eye. After all, this distance is too dangerous for us.

And those green eyes, a hundred meters away from us, actually stopped. Remain motionless. The faint light of the fire seemed to shine on them, gray hair, thin bodies, and of course, dozens of chilling eyes.

It seems that they are a pack of hungry wolves, desperate for us to be our dinner tonight. A wave of fear suddenly hung over our heads.

We seem to be in a dark dungeon, surrounded by watchful eyes. And this dungeon is the dark desert tonight.

This feeling of being watched is uncomfortable. I twisted my head, trying to ease my nerves. The cannon also moved.

Suddenly, those green eyes kept moving in the darkness in the distance, and the speed of this movement was overwhelming.

I whispered, "Brother Li, what is this hungry wolf going to do?" Brother Li didn't return, and said after a while: "These wolves should be adjusting their combat power deployment, wanting to hit us in one blow in order to achieve the best combat effect." ”

I nodded in admiration and sighed, "The wolf's wisdom is really catching up with us." ”

"It's not that simple to tear us apart. The gun master also has to drag a few wolf cubs on his back. The cannon said arrogantly.
